Principle:
Gloss of the surface is the ratio of light reflected from the surface of the sample to the light incident on it, when the angle of incidence and Reflectance are equal numerically but opposite in sign i.e. Gloss is a measure of how well the surface functions as a mirror. Gloss increases as the sample of incidence increases. The unit is light weight and with a inbuilt measuring head having integral read-out unit, with controls for setting the value of standards and holding the displayed value. In addition, there is an averaging facility to allow for surface variations.
Glossmeter Software allows user to:
1. Save readings for internal records
2. Graphically analyse the stored readings
3. Exclude the erroneous readings from the records and reanalyse the readings.
4. Compare individual batches of Data.
5. Export Data in .txt, .csv, .xls formats.
